Be it known that I, J. W. CONNELY, of Charleston, Coles county, andState of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Machine forCultivating Corn, Cotton, 360.; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexeddrawings,.making a part of this specification.

Figure 1.is a perspective view.

Figure 2, side view.

Figure 3, top view.

Figure 4, view of interior section embracing middle ploughs or shovelswith-attachment.

The parts and members shown by letters, to, wit: A, tongue; B, cross-baror stationary double-tree; C, middle bar; D, axle; E, seat and rear bar;0 0, arms; S S, pivot bolts; F F, beams; G G, hounds; H, lever; L,fulcrum; I I, plough stocks; JJ, chains; K K, stirrups; M M, ploughs 0rshovels; T 'I, stocks of middle ploughs.- Y

In order to enable others to make and use my invention, I will describeits construction and use, viz:

I use axle D, three feet seven inches long, three by three and one-halfinches, with movable spindles sixteen and one-half inches in length, soas to make width of track vary atthe pleasure ofthe operator; breadth.

from four feet to five'feet; diameter of wheels five feet. Hounds G G,length five feet nine inches, size three by three and one-half inches,attached to the under side of axle D, running parallel with andtwenty-two inches from each other. Bar B, length three feet ten inches,size two by three and one-half inches. This bar is let into houndsG G tothe depth of one inch near the forward end and fastened with bolts;distance from bar B to axle D, twenty-five and one-half inches. Bar 0,length two feet four inches, size two by two and one-half inches,distance from axle six and one-half inches, and let into hounds oneinch; and bolted tongue A attached to under side of bars B and 0. Seator rear bar E, length two feet six inches, size one by twelve inches,distance fIOIII ILXlB D twenty inches; Fulcrum L, length ten inches,size two by three inches, with two-inch tenon inserted in mortise inaxle D; also mortise in top of fulcrum for reception of lever H, whichsaid lever is three feet two inches long and one inch in diameter. Arms0 0, length seventeen inches, size two by five inches, and attached tounder side of bar B by pivot bolts S Beams-FE, two feet nine andone-half inches in length, and two by three inches in size, and attachedat lower end and inside of arms 0 0. Stocks T T, length twenty inches,size two by three inches, and mortised into beams F F, and supported byiron brace- Stocks I I, length two feet ten and one-half inches, andattached on outside of bounds. G G,'in rear of axle, two feet three andone-half inches; size of said stock two by three inches. ,Chains J J,attached to lever H and stocks I I and T T, also to axle D. Stirrups KK, inserted in stocks T T, twelve and onc-halfinches from bottom.Ploughs or shovels M M; size of inside ploughs six and one-half by nineinches; outside plough seven by eleven inches. Advantage of axle withmovable spindle is to vary width of track said spindle being bolted toaxle, and movable. The attachment ofarms O O by pivot bolts to bar B andbeams F F. to arms 0 O by bolts or clevis making a flexible joint,giving middle ploughs a lateral and perpendicular or vertical movementby means of feet of operator, moving one or both at pleasure. .And byuse of lever H, all theploughs or shovels are raised or lifted from theground, making a light, durable, and convenient cultivator.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- .I. The machine in combination, in a cultivator, of the severalparts, as arranged and described.

2. The arms 0 0 made either of wood or iron and manner and place ofattachment to bar or double-tree on forward end of hounds of frame asdescribed and shown.

3. Flexible joint, connecting beams F Fwith arms 0 0, either by bolts,pins, or clevis, as shown and described.

4. The bar B, arms 0 O, beams F F, and stocks T T, as constructed andshown and described. i
